Exhibitions

Radical Gaming | Immersion Simulation Subversion

A group show about structures, technologies and aesthetics of the global gaming industry.

HEK (House of Electronic Arts), Freilager-Platz 9, Münchenstein, Basel

HEK (House of Electronic Arts) hosts Radical Gaming, an international group exhibition with a new generation of artists from different cultural backgrounds employing contemporary game programming technologies to create virtual and augmented reality experiences and multimedia installations.

By refusing the commercial and recreational logic of video games, they undermine traditional video games’ narratives, using immersion and interaction to create provoking works that open alternative perspectives on identity construction, gender issues and social change.

Special opening hours during Art Basel: 20.-26.09.2021, 10am-8pm
